In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Drosophila melanogaster, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Genetics and Drosophila.
His Drosophila melanogaster study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phenotype, Developmental biology, Allele and Longevity.
The study of Ecology is intertwined with the study of Extinction in a number of ways.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Adaptation, Selection, Experimental evolution, Genetic variation and Ectotherm.
His Genetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Inbreeding and Inbreeding depression.
The various areas that Volker Loeschcke examines in his Drosophila study include Natural population growth and Life history theory.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- How to assess Drosophila cold tolerance: chill coma temperature and lower lethal temperature are the best predictors of cold distribution limits (144 citations)
- A Drosophila laboratory evolution experiment points to low evolutionary potential under increased temperatures likely to be experienced in the future (62 citations)
- Sodium distribution predicts the chill tolerance of Drosophila melanogaster raised in different thermal conditions (55 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Phenotypic plasticity, Evolutionary biology, Ectotherm and Drosophila melanogaster.
Volker Loeschcke combines subjects such as Natural population growth, Statistics and Cold tolerance with his study of Ecology.
He has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Adaptation, Selection, Experimental evolution, Life history and Genetic variation.
Volker Loeschcke has included themes like Reaction norm and Drosophila in his Ectotherm study.
His Drosophila melanogaster research integrates issues from Cell biology, Insect, Adaptive radiation and Founder effect.
In his research, Genetics is intimately related to Inbreeding, which falls under the overarching field of Fecundity.
